Chapter 149 The Name of Lyu Liang
Lyu Liang flew back for only a while when he saw a large puppet troop led by Li Wuyi’s giant puppet with three heads and six arms, together with Xu Mubai taking the lead alone.
“Goddamn! The wisest thing I have done in my life is to become your sworn life-and-death brother. I even let you become my second brother!” Li Wuyi revealed his body and gave a thumbs up with a look of undisguised admiration.
Of course, Xu Mubai and other people coming looked at Lyu Liang with a tremendous feeling of awe! Cultivators at the Peak of Almighty Immortal were the most ancient and powerful beings below the Heaven Realm, and Lyu Liang had killed several of them so easily.
What did it mean? Lyu Liang’s intuition told him that he outranked these powerful figures by more than a level! Of course, no one knew that there was only one chance left for Lyu Liang to summon the two-headed Giant Tiger for five years.
Clasping his hands, Lyu Liang smiled and said, “I have been basically making trouble. Without the assistance of eldest brother, second brother, and all our comrades, we could not have given the position of the Wangui Sect such a hard hit.”
Xu Mubai slapped his shoulder and said with a smile, “You are always so modest and polite! Except for several insignificant ones escaping away, most of the forces of the Wangui Sect have been killed by us! With you here, our unfavorable situation seems to have turned quite optimistic. Hahaha, good play! We must send this news to other battlefields in the Mortal Realm as soon as possible!”
Lyu Liang wanted to tell them the truth. After all, without the Blood Soul Sword Move of Kunwu Sword, six enemies at the Peak of Almighty Immortal would have been enough to exhaust him, let alone 16.
But after thinking for a while, he decided to let Xu Mubai continue to make that impassioned speech to all people. After all, morale was exactly what those in the Mortal Realm needed. Besides, since no one on either side knew the time limit of his Blood Soul Sword Move, he would then be able to use it to produce a good deterrent effect.
Within a short night, the news that the powerful Wangui Sect had been destroyed by the allied forces of the Wufang Territory, just like that with wings, spread throughout the entire Chaotic World swiftly. The significant role that Lyu Liang played was certainly one of the major topics.
People spread the news so fast on purpose. It had been too long and the people in the Chaotic World were in such a great need of a superhero to turn things around.
The surprising appearance of Lyu Liang brought infinite hope to the people. His name had become a word with the highest frequency on both sides.
Lyu Liang himself didn’t have any change. He returned to the Blood Divine Sect with Xu Mubai and other people and merely smiled mildly in response to the multitude of praises.
When there were only the three brothers and Chishui Fairy inside the room, Xu Liang said anxiously in a slightly trembling voice, “Brother Lyu, can w-we go out and meet Brother Xu now? You were too busy, so we didn’t dare bother you!”
Lyu Liang clapped his head and felt embarrassed inside. After he returned, he united with his brothers, reconnected himself with his ancestral roots, and also destroyed the Wangui Sect, but only forgot the brother and sister in the cave residence…
“Eldest brother, I was so busy that I forgot about it. There are two members of Creator in my cave residence. They are so much eager to meet you!” Just after Lyu Liang had said this, Xu Liang and Xu Xiaotao, who were restless with excitement, appeared with tears in their eyes.
“Liang! Xiaotao! Haha! It’s you! I was wondering where you had gone. Why are you living in my third brother’s cave residence?” Xu Mubai was also excited and surprised, showing his obvious deep friendship with the two.
Then Xu Liang told them what had happened, during which Xu Xiaotao kept peeking at Chishui Fairy beside Li Wuyi. But Chishui Fairy stared straight at her, frowning clearly while thinking of something.
“Xiaotao! Xiaotao! You are Junior Brother Bi Huo’s…” Chishui Fairy clapped her head suddenly, stepped forward, and held Xu Xiaotao’s arm, her eyes kindled with excitement.
With a shiver in her body and tears welling up in her eyes, Xu Xiaotao said in a trembling voice, “Sister Shui, it’s really you! How is H-Huo now?”
“Oh! You left without saying a word. Do you know how much pain Junior Brother has suffered? When he learned that the leaders of Creator took their people to the Chaotic World, he begged our grandmaster like mad to take him here. Although we arrived here together, we hadn’t heard about you for tens of thousands of years. However, Junior Brother has never given up. Just over a thousand years ago, he went back to the Pangu Origin world with Master Haotian and other people to continue to look for you there!” Chishui Fairy stroked Xu Xiaotao’s head affectionately. Although she was somehow complaining, her heart was full of pleasure.
Drowning in tears, Xu Xiaotao sobbed. “Anyway, I’m really sorry for him. If only I had refused the seal resolutely! I, I will go find him!”
Chishui Fairy had calmed down. Holding Xu Xiaotao’s hands, she said, “Things can be easier. In a half a year, I will contact Master Haotian. At that time, I will tell him your message, and then he will send it to Junior Brother. You can just wait for him to come to you. But during these days, you and your brother can stay in the Wanxiang Sect with us.”
Hearing her words, Xu Xiaotao stopped crying and nodded with a smile. And then she looked at Lyu Liang sheepishly. “Brother Lyu—”
“Don’t worry about me. I meant to take you to my eldest brother, and since here’s such a new relationship, I don’t have any reasons to keep you here anymore. What to do next is all up to you!” Lyu Liang waved his hand with a smile, clarifying his intention first.
The brother and sister looked at each other, and then Xu Liang discussed it with Xu Mubai for a while. At last, he bowed deeply to Lyu Liang with his hands clasped, and said, “We will remember your kindness forever. We have decided to return to the Wanxiang Sect today. Then we can also help repair the damaged puppets there.”
Then Xu Liang left two puppets a the Late-stage of Almighty Immortal behind and began the journey to the Wanxiang Sect with Li Wuyi and Chushui Fairy.
Lyu Liang settled himself in the Blood Divine Sect naturally. Now, since the forces of the Wangui Sect had disappeared thoroughly, what he had to next was destroy the realm passage. Of course, before that, he had to get in touch with Yang Ying first.
Looking at the cozy environment inside the cave residence and recalling the worship in the eyes of the people of the Blood Divine Sect, including the Seven Disciples, Lyu Liang sighed slightly in his heart. “We used to be tough hostile enemies, but now we are bonded together in such harmony. So unpredictable life is!”
…………………………
At the same time, Wen Ying and her fiery-red-robed father looked at each other calmly in a house in a stronghold of the Sun-Moon Palace.
“Have you really decided?”
“Yes! From today on, I, Wen Ying, am no longer a member of the Fire Emissaries of the Sun-Moon Palace. I will resurrect my mom and get our people out of enslavement in my own way!”
“Do you think there’s still a possibility in cooperating with that guy?”
“Anyway, I will try! I am willing to trade my life for a promise from him!”
After saying these words, she turned around and left. When she went to the door, she paused, turned her head slightly, and said softly, “Father, take care! If Lyu Liang comes to the Sun-Moon Palace, you must live on!” Then she suddenly vanished out sideways.
The old man watched her leave, relief replacing the seriousness on his face suddenly. “Child, if you can realize your aspirations, I will support you without hesitation even at the cost of my withering life!”
…………………………
Deep in a gloomy cave of the Ghostly Fire Palace, Yang Ying was sitting on the ground with a pale face and chains around her. Standing in front with his back to her was a strong man who was wearing a black robe embroidered with the character “Wu”.
“Please hold on. That guy will definitely come here for you in the coming days. I know that you have given one of the two Life Stones to him.”
“Are you really that reckless, Wu Lei? Or who are you on earth? Why do you help me?”
“I help you due to someone else. That is all I can say. I’m willing to reveal my real self to you because the Ghostly Fire Palace is not far from perishing, and both you and I will never serve it. Is it right?”
“Although I don’t know who you really are, I still want to thank you for recovering my Qi Meridian. I know what Lyu Liang is mainly coming for, but I’m in such trouble myself that I can’t help him. If you can—”
“Don’t worry. Will the one who can annihilate the Wangui Sect easily need any help from others? It’s you who needs to think about where to go.”
After that, Wu Lei strode away, leaving Yang Ying in deep thought.
Outside the cave, Wu Lei put on his hood again. He gazed at the gloomy sky and whispered to himself. “Xing Lie, hold on for a little longer. As long as Zhu Yu and Lyu Liang are alive, you are not far from forming your body from the soul!”
…………………………
In the Penglai fairyland of the Heaven Realm, six old figures were standing solemnly around a large table. They were separated into two sides, with three of them on each.
All three on the left had had contact with Lyu Liang. Among them, two were the elder Green Dragon and Saint Emperor of Rosefinch, and the third one was the powerful figure of Saber-toothed Tiger who Lyu Liang met on the Seven Days of Mortal. And standing on the right were the three black-robed old men of the Nether Big World.
“Green Dragon, how would you explain an oddity such as Lyu Liang to us?!”
“Oh, what’s wrong? Why need I explain? He belongs to the Chaotic World, and now he returns to protect his homeland. What’s wrong with it?”
“Don’t play the fool! We had said that only cultivators below the Tao Master level are allowed to the battle! As far as his strength is concerned, do you think that he’s still a being below the Heaven Realm?”
“Don’t talk nonsense! You have researched him. Do you think we know nothing about it?! His aura is weird, but he’s a solid Late-stage Fairy Immortal! He just has rare treasures and extraordinary talents. How can you say he is not below the Heaven Realm?!”
“Y-you are members of the Heavenly Alliance. Don’t you know Lyu Liang is a wanted man of the Soul Detention Order along with Zhu Yu?”
“Hoho, don’t you know Divine Ancestor of Xuan Tian has sent two of the eight Immortal Generals to hunt them? Now that even Immortal Generals don’t intervene in such kind of thing, why don’t we just take it easy?”
“You… If Lyu Liang continues to exert his strength like this, we may all have to join the battle in the Mortal World!”
“Hmph! That’s better. I have been impatient about those chattering speeches of stopping the battle from those seniors. If you break the rules, we will play it hard with you! But as just you kindly reminded us, Lyu Liang’s strength does not suit him for the Mortal World anymore. Why don’t we promote him to the Heaven Realm after that?! As for the Soul Detention Order, it is not our business anymore.”
